Slide vs no slide
I’ve owned A TT with a slide for a few years but find myself looking for something a little lighter and newer. The cost of a new TT is cheaper w/o a slide than with. Other than the obvious reduction...

I just went from my last 5 RV’s WITH slides, to getting a brand new one without one by choice. I could have paid 2-4k more and got several different ORV models with slides, money had nothing to do with my decision.Just 2 of us and tend to sit or play outside as much as possible fishing, hiking or just sitting by a fire. We also only take a lot of 2-4 night trips opposed to 1-2 weeks on the road. My last RV had a couch and a recliner, ridiculous it seemed! I can do that at home! I need to get my lard azz off of the couch more!
So basically if we did long trips or get retired and snowbird, maybe then again, don’t see the need now. I also have had minor slide issues on 2 of my previous rigs, and when it gets cold (i winter camp) they all leak air a bit. My buddy with a higher end TT (built in Oregon) is currently having water leak slide issues also.
Our reasons for no slide-
Potty/lunch breaks will be easier traveling. Picking a site without worrying about what the slide is going to hit will be easier. No worry about mechanical issues or air/water leaks. Lighter. Currently have a floor plan that works without a slide, walk around queen up front, big separation (i get up early) to our huge dinette to eat and play yahtzee in the rear, works for us and simple.
